Managing Marine Environmental Pollution using Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence and Marine Design

grown in exploring AI approaches to design problems, both because of the enormous potential impact on productivity of improved design tools and because of the interesting basic AI issues that these problems raise. In particular, a number of ship designers and AI researchers recently became interested in applying AI to the hydrodynamic design of ship hulls. A typical problem here is to design th...

Artificial Intelligence Methods for Environmental Decision Support

Decision Support Systems for the environment have to incorporate and exploit knowledge about the phenomena and the interdependencies in the affected natural systems, i.e. a model. We discuss different tasks and requirements, provide a logical formalization of the tasks, and propose to use methods and techniques developed in research on modeling and model-based systems in Artificial Intelligence...

Binding Environmental Sciences and Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Modelling & Software

We are pleased to introduce a selection of the papers presented at the ECAI’98 Workshop on Binding Environmental Sciences and Artificial Intelligence (BESAI) (Cortés & Sànchez-Marrè, 1998) [3]. The BESAI workshop has its roots in the IJCAI’95 Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and the Environment (Mason, 1995) that is, to our best knowledge, the only initiative of its kind in the framework of ...

Managing Marine Plastic Pollution: Policy Initiatives to Address Wayward Waste

Artificial Intelligence for Artificial Artificial Intelligence

Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk have become popular for a wide variety of human intelligence tasks; however, quality control continues to be a significant challenge. Recently, we propose TURKONTROL, a theoretical model based on POMDPs to optimize iterative, crowdsourced workflows. However, they neither describe how to learn the model parameters, nor show its effectiveness...
